Standard -ed adjective formed from the noun 'dimple', meaning 'having small indentations', which is directly inferable.

Etymology

Dimpled comes from the idea of a small hollow or 'dip' in a surface, so think of a golf ball with many tiny bowl-shaped marks. That's why a dimpled object has small rounded indentations.
